Representing Clients Throughout Houston and Around the World

When people have legal problems, they look for attorneys who have successfully handled cases similar to theirs. Do not trust your future with an attorney not versed in the particular area of law that keeps you up at night.

At Katine & Nechman L.L.P. in Houston, Texas, our law firm is comprised of knowledgeable, compassionate attorneys who will assist you with a wide variety of complex state and federal legal matters. We have significant experience working with clients from around the world, helping them with their immigration and other legal needs — we are well-prepared to help you.

Experience is one of the best ways to gauge the skills of your lawyer. At Katine & Nechman, our attorneys have more than 35 years of combined experience. We have the skills and experience to successfully handle all your important legal needs, including those involving:

Immigration — We help individuals, families and businesses throughout Texas and around the world achieve their dreams and goals in America.

Estate planning — We offer comprehensive estate planning solutions including last wills and testaments, medical powers of attorney and guardianships. We also seek to preserve clients' rights in probate.

Disability claims — The attorneys at our firm handle ERISA and long term disability claims.

Compassionate Advocates

We have an extensive background advocating for our clients' rights. In 2003, attorney Mitchell Katine was one of the lawyers who brought Lawrence v. Texas to the U.S. Supreme Court. In a landmark and precedent-setting decision, the court declared sodomy laws unconstitutional throughout the United States.

We also compassionately advocate for clients who are HIV-positive or who have full-blown AIDS. We fight to protect them from discrimination in the workplace and in their daily lives while they seek to obtain vital medical treatment.

Mediation — an Alternative to Litigation

Given the time, expense and stress associated with a trial, sometimes litigation is not the most time- or cost-effective legal option. Alternative dispute resolution methods such as arbitration, negotiation or mediation may be much better-suited for you. Mitchell Katine understands the importance of mediation — he has been certified as a mediator since 1992. We are available to handle mediations involving all types of legal issues.

Dedicated to Making Our Community Better

Often, we speak on a number of legal issues affecting our clients and the community. We also participate in many activities that benefit our community.
